As usual, I am informed beyond Faux News and the Moonie's propoganda. <font color=blue>I think we're in bed with Kuwait. I think we're pumping oil out of Iraq to pay for this war." </font> floridatoday.com!NEWSROOM/peoplestoryA1172A.htm <font color=blue>"You look for patterns. Patterns tell you things," says Brandli, who has masters degrees in meteorology, aeronautics and astronautics, and the author of "Satellite Meteorology" for the Air Force's Air Weather Service in 1976. "With night photos, you can distinguish natural gas burnoff, which looks globular, from city lights. And suddenly, over just a few weeks, we've got this straight line of lights leading all the way to those beautiful wells in southeastern Iraq. </font> <font color=brown>But in Monterey, Calif., Bob Fett says "Hank got it right." Fett and Brandli worked together in Vietnam. Fett was the head of the Tactical Applications Department for the National Reconnaissance Organization, the spy-satellite program whose very existence was a state secret for 30 years. Fett, now a consultant for Naval Research Lab, provided a map showing how the lights line up into the region of Iraq's Rumaila oilfields. "It's been an impressive operation," Fett says. "(Construction giants) Halliburton, or Bechtel, or Brown & Root, were contracted to get the oil flowing out of Iraq as quickly as possible, and hundreds of workers have been going at it 24 hours a day, around the clock.</font> floridatoday.com!NEWSROOM/columnstoryA5994A.htm <font color=brown>Bechtel and Halliburton didn't respond to messages. What's important is, Halliburton stocks are over $22 a share now.</font> TP

Cheney's crony put in charge of Iraqi oil <font color=blue>"The administration continues to create the impression that the fox is in charge of the hen house," ... "Given Mr. McKee's close relationship with Halliburton, he's an odd choice to hold them accountable for the billions of dollars they are charging American taxpayers." </font> chron.com This part does not make sense. <font color=brown>That's a far cry from the export levels Bush administration officials had hoped to see by this time. But Iraq's oil workers have been forced to reinject the bulk of the crude production from the country's huge northern field of Kirkuk back into the ground, because a critical pipeline to Turkey has been shut down by repeated acts of sabotage. On Sunday, Iraq produced 1.9 million barrels of oil, a record since the war, Bremer told a Senate panel. But he warned: "There will be bad days ahead. The saboteurs ... know how to attack ... where it hurts." </font> Why would they pump the oil and then inject it back into the ground? This looks like another cover story to explain how Halliburton could be pumping record amounts and yet no oil is appearing in the accounts for Iraqi reconstruction. It is all being pumped through Kuwait where Cheney and a few arab buddies can split the profits without worring about the U.N. or a later Iraqi government asking for a piece of the pie. floridatoday.com!NEWSROOM/peoplestoryA1172A.htm <font color=red> But why go that way? I think we're in bed with Kuwait. I think we're pumping oil out of Iraq to pay for this war." </font> TP
